Men's Volleyball Falls to Knights

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.- The Wilson College men's volleyball team was in action this morning as they squared off against the Knights of Arcadia University. The Phoenix ( 1-2, 0-1 NEAC) were defeated by the Knights (11-4, 1-0 MAC) three sets to none with scores of 25-14, 25-21, 25-21. 

How It Happened: The Knights jumped out to an early lead early in the first set. After the Phoenix took a timeout with the score 21-9 , they started to gain some momentum but it proved to be too late. Arcadia would close out the first set 25-14. In the second set, Wilson carried their momentum early on. The Knights started to pull away, however, and forced the Phoenix to call a timeout with the score being 15-11. Seniors Aaron Hoke (Chambersburg, Pa., Commonwealth Connections Academy) and Zachary McMaster (Gettysburg, Pa., New Oxford) helped fuel the Wilson offense as they were able to combine for 5 kills in the set, all of which were assisted by junior Ian Firestone (York, Pa., York Suburban). Despite a valiant effort from the Phoenix, Arcadia took the set 25-21. In the third and final set, the Knights took control early and rushed out to an 11-6 lead, which promoted a Wilson timeout.
